Beltway Vehicle Crash

By:
Lieutenant Robert Furst

On
Monday, January 11 Ambulances 716 and 701, Paramedic Engines 719 and 716 and
Rescue Squad 742 operated at this crash on I-495 at Route 29. Two patients were
transported to local hospitals - one of those patients was trapped in their
vehicle.

This
event was challenging because the cars were located on opposite shoulders of
the highway. For the safety of the responders, and patients, I-495 was shut
down until the patients could be moved to the ambulances and transported.
